NEW York, Jan. 31.-The killing Of a man
by contact with an electric light wire at a
FIRE the other day has stimulated an inquiry
as to whether electric light wires cannot be
handled in such a way as to render it some
what less dangerous to touch them. But
little is likely to be accomplished in that
direction, I fear. Men who havs to cut wires
should never use pliers hat lave naked iron
handles. There Is ordinarily little danger if
the precaution Of using only wooden covered
handles be observed. The last unfortunate
victim neglected 1t. But the company that
employed him declares he was not killed by
tho shock, but by his fall from the pole to
which he was clinging. Whether they were
right or not will probably never be deter
mined.
Electricity, by the way, is taking up a good
deal of attention in the metropolis just now,
as, indeed, it is everywhere, for that matter.
The attempt to lay the telegraph, telephone
and electric light wires under ground, and the
complications, political and practical, that
have met the subway commission at every
step, will by and bye be recorded in pages Of
scientific and political history.
The most interesting electrical matter at
present before the people here is the attempt
